40. Downy Woodpecker

Date          September 21, 2002
Location     Front yard (Gillette Ave.), Hilliard, OH





Soon after coming home from seeing the cormorant, we spied a woodpecker on the crab apple tree in our front yard. It was pretty exciting because we lived in a fairly new neighborhood with small trees.

He didn't stay long.

I felt it a rather cruel injustice at the time when we moved away from the neighborhood a few years later in 2006. The day we were moving, as I was loading up the van for the umpteenth time, there was a Magnolia Warbler on our neighbor's tree. We were moving to an even newer neighborhood with essentially no trees (converted farm land) -- just as things were getting interesting!
